Front Cover: “The Indian Queen” a rococo
watercolour design by the Bristol artist
William Milton from the 1730s showing black
page boys in attendance on the monarch.
Milton probably designed this painting to be
repainted in oils as an inn sign in the city. Black
servants both free and slaves must have been
regularly encountered in the early Georgian
city.
Back Cover : “The Brothers”, engraved by
E.Roffe from the group by C. Cordier,
Art Journal 1873

Introduction
Bristol 1807 - a Sense of Place is a Heritage Lottery funded project which was managed
by Bristol Libraries from October 2007 to December 2008. As part of the Abolition 200
programme the theme was an exploration of the lives of the people of Bristol in 1807.
The project was successful in covering a wide range of activities including creative work
with local schools, one large static exhibition and smaller touring displays, hands-on
sessions with some of the rarer archives, adult learning classes and lectures.
As one of several legacy products from Bristol 1807 this list of resources builds on a
select bibliography which was compiled in 1998 by Raj Lalla, Jane Bradley and Dawn
Dyer as part of the support for the exhibition, ‘A Respectable Trade, Bristol and
Transatlantic slavery’ at Bristol City Museum in 1999 which was an element in the
New Opportunities Fund Port Cities project.
This original work has now been expanded and enhanced to include a wider range of
reference sources from the Central Library’s extensive collections and helpful
annotations for some of the entries. A selection of black and white illustrations are also
included.
We hope that this publication will be useful for those interested in this subject and we
are grateful to Bristol 1807 for presenting us with the opportunity, a decade after this
resource list was first made available, to produce this new version.
Robert Harrison, Central Library Manager
